Uninstalling Ad-Aware 2007

I've been using Ad-Aware 2007 for a few months and I want to uninstall
it to get a new anti-spyware program that actually works and is not as
resource intensive.
But, Windows has made it hard for me....

I was thinking about Spybot Search & Destroy, people were saying good
things about it.

AdAware and SpyBot may have some overlap but they target two different
problems: popup ads vs spyware. Many people use both and have a
software firewall like ZoneAlarm installed too. If it were my system I
would not uninstall AdAware.
